Shujaat,
just to underline what Leonard and Kevin said...

This attribute (at least in Java) is documented as "If it is a True Type
font each array element will have {Platform ID, Platform Encoding ID,
Language ID, font name}. The interpretation of this values can be found in
the Open Type specification, chapter 2, in the 'name' table. For the other
fonts the array has a single element with {"", "", "", font name}."

This prefix is documented in the PDF specification for Type 1 and TrueType
fonts (9.6.4 "Font Subsets"): "For a font subset, the PostScript name of the
font — the value of the font’s BaseFont entry and the font descriptor’s
FontName entry — shall begin with a tag followed by a plus sign (+). The tag
shall consist of exactly six uppercase letters; the choice of letters is
arbitrary, but different subsets in the same PDF file shall have different
tags."

Are you sure your machine has only one font Calibri installed? The Windows
I'm working on has:
10.06.2009 22:43 811.052 calibri.ttf
10.06.2009 22:43 848.720 calibrib.ttf
10.06.2009 22:43 853.348 calibrii.ttf
10.06.2009 22:43 899.560 calibriz.ttf
i.e. normal Calibri, bold Calibri, italics Calibri, and bold italics
Calibri,
You should be aware that "XXX-Bold" in general is not "XXX" stretched to
appear bold but is instead a completely separate font. It may be created
from the same font drawing commands with a slightly different
parametrization but it also be created from a completely different set of
such commands.

This indeed is missing. On the other hand it is not easy to return as the
actually given font has a size but its graphical display then is resized by
the transformation matrix. Thus, a font appearing as a 10pt font may
actually be a 5pt one stretched by a factor of 2. The font at 10pt and the
font at 5pt stretched by 2 are not necessarily identical, though. So, what
should be returned?
Additionally you can do some funny things with the transformation matrix.
You can make normal fonts appear somewhat bolded, slanted, densified, ... To
analyze this aspect you do need to look at the current transformation
matrix.
Therefore, read the specifications and be prepared that typesetting is not
as easy as Word processors make it appear, and more complex than text in
System.Drawing is.
